Now Offering Shockwave Therapy

CVRC is excited to announce that we now offer shockwave therapy for your pets!

How it Works

A shock wave is a high energy, focused sound wave that stimulates cells and releases healing growth factors in the body for the following benefits:

  • Reduce inflammation and swelling
  • Increase blood flow
  • Help bones form and heal, and enhance wound healing

These sound waves release higher energy and result in deeper penetration by traveling through soft tissue at different depths to a specific treatment area and begin healing.

As veterinarians in a 24-hour emergency and specialty hospital, holidays bring an array of very predictable medical issues and emergencies.

It is my honor to introduce Dr. David Sachs, the co-owner of Charleston Veterinary Referral Center, as this month’s guest contributor. Dr. Sachs has spent years working as an emergency veterinarian and is the medical director of CVRC. He has written an informative article to raise awareness of the many issues surrounding pet ownership and the holidays.
